- Underground exploration can be potentially dangerous if you do not
have the right equipment and skills. This is why you should consider
joining a well established Club, who can train you and lend you equipment
for your first few trips.
- Have a look at our Links page to find links to other underground exploration groups, both in Britain and around the world.
Warning These pages are under continuous development, so beware of false links,
and blind headings .... !!
